8. Notes on working with the
machine

8.1 What material can be processed?

Organic plant trimmings such as fruit and
6
vegetable cuttings, flower cuttings, leaves,
tree and hedge cuttings, as well as thick
branches with side shoots and twigs.
Tree and hedge cuttings should be
processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
material.

8.2 What material cannot be

processed?
Stones, glass, bits of metal (wire, nails,
etc.) or plastic must not be fed into the
garden shredder.
7
As a general rule:
Any materials that do not belong on the
compost heap should not be processed
using the garden shredder.

8.3 Maximum branch diameter

The data relates to freshly cut branch
material:
Maximum branch diameter
GE 103: 30 mm
GE 105: 35 mm

8.4 Working area for operator

● For safety reasons, the operator
must stay within the working area
(grey area X) for the entire operating
period (while the motor is switched on
or the engine is running), particularly in
order to prevent injuries due to
shredding material that is ejected
backwards.

8.5 Correct machine load

The load on the motor or engine of the
garden shredder must never cause the
speed to drop significantly. Always feed
the garden shredder continuously and
steadily. If the speed drops when working
with the garden shredder, stop feeding the
machine in order to relieve the load on the
motor or engine.

8.6 Overload protection

If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in overload protection
device automatically switches off the
motor.
The garden shredder can be started up
again after a cooling period of
approx. 10 minutes. Frequent triggering
of the overload protection may be
attributable to the following causes:
– Unsuitable electric cable (
– Power overload
